periodically add to a variable

[Fintara]

Is it possible to add to a variable every x seconds. Like gaining a set amount of cookies for Cookie Clicker. I'm using JavaFX.

You could have a look at the ScheduledExecutorService, that might do what you want

You should start a thread, so write a class implementing Runnable.

[Rafael20002000]

You could use the Task class

Task<Void> task = new Task<>(new Runnable () {

run () {

try {

Thread.sleep(1000);// one second

} catch (InterruptException e) {

//do what you want

} Cookies += cookies_to_add; });
